The keyboard wiz's five decade career has run the gamut from Cannonball Adderley to Frank Zappa to the California Raisins, but here we have the cream-his pop/R&B hits and funk grooves with Stanley Clarke on bass: Dukey Stick; Reach for It; Sweet Baby; Shine On, plus seven more.

In this master adaptation, Duke puts his famous jazzy touch on classics by Tchaikovsky (Nutcracker Suite), Grieg (Peer Gynt Suites) and John Steinbeck's engaging novel, Sweet Thursday, with his original composition of Zweet Zurzday. Also includes Toot Toot Tootie Toot (Dance of the Red-Pipes); Sugar-Rum Cherry (Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy); in the Hall of the Mountain King; Arabesque Cookie (Arabian Dance); Morning Mood; Anitra's Dance, and much more!

An electrifying experience as Davis moves away from his traditional quintet sound toward a more jazz/rock feel later to be known as fusion. Illuminated by Herbie Hancock's Fender Rhodes, along with a guest appearance by George Benson on Paraphernalia.

10 Top 40 hits, eight Top 40 LPs Cuba Gooding was all over the '70s like his thespian son was all over the '90s. His R&B group The Main Ingredient was one of the most soulful of the era, and here are 16 of their best: The title smash; Happiness Is Just Around the Bend; Rolling down a Mountainside; Spinning Around (I Must Be Falling in Love); Just Don't Want to Be Lonely, and more!

Seven Steps to Heaven is the product of two separate sessions recorded during Miles' search for a new sound in early 1963. Victor Feldman, a young Herbie Hancock and an even younger Tony Williams play with George Coleman and Ron Carter on Basin Street Blues; I Fall in Love Too Easily; So Near, So Far; Joshua ; the title track, and more.

Miles' quintet (with George Coleman, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams) was a band for the ages, one that performed with an incandescent beauty remarkable even for them on February 12, 1964 at Lincoln Center. Their explorations of All of You; Stella by Starlight; All Blues; I Thought About You, and the title classic are joined by revelatory new notes by Carter!

A Tribute to Jack Johnson is a studio album and soundtrack by American jazz trumpeter, composer, and bandleader Miles Davis. It was originally released on February 24, 1971, by Columbia Records. It's two 25-minute-plus tracks were produced from recordings made on February 18 and April 7, 1970, at 30th Street Studio in New York City. Davis was inspired by the political and racial subtext of Johnson's saga as well as the hard rock and funk sounds of his own era, leading a rock-inspired line-up of musicians in the studio: guitarists John McLaughlin and Sonny Sharrock, keyboardists Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea, clarinetist Bennie Maupin, and drummers Jack DeJohnette and Billy Cobham.

Love, relationships, money and power-those were the themes of this 1973 LP, a classic O'Jays blend of funky soul and social commentary. Their R&B smashes Put Your Hands Together (the #2 hit and a bonus live version) and for the Love of Money (#3 hit) join This Air I Breathe; People Keep Tellin' Me; Don't Call Me Brother, and more!
